The co-processing of hazardous waste in cement kiln can eliminate a large number of hazardous wastes, but the excessive existence of chlorine will affect normal operation of cement kiln. In this study, the partition of Cl in flue gas, fly ash and residual solid under different experiment conditions was obtained by using tubular furnace to incinerate mixtures of rectification residue and raw meal. The chlorine content in flue gas was determined using ion chromatography and the chlorine content in fly ash and residual solid was measured by high temperature combustion hydrolyzing-ion chromatography. The results showed that chlorine mainly existed in flue gas and residual solid, and only less than 3.5% of chlorine existed in fly ash. The incineration temperature had a significant effect on the distribution of chlorine in each part. The higher the incinerating temperature, the greater the proportion of chlorine in flue gas and fly ash. While temperatures were higher than 1300 degrees C, the proportion of chlorine in all parts remained basically unchanged, roughly 18:14:1. With the increase of the retention time, the proportion of chlorine in the residual solid decreased gradually, and the proportion of chlorine in the flue gas increased gradually. The distribution ratio of chlorine in each part remained unchanged after about 30 min. In addition, the chlorine content of the sample and the air flow rate had a relatively slight effect on the partition of chlorine. Based on these experimental results, some suggestions on the co-processing of hazardous waste in cement kiln were put forward. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
